The new preview for ‘The Valley’ Season 3 just dropped, and let’s just say nobody is minding their own business. The first look arrived on February 18, and it’s already stirring the pot before the premiere hits. Babies are crying. Couples are cracking. Friendships are on the brink. And somehow, despite everyone claiming they want peace, the sparks keep flying. The returning lineup includes Danny Booko, Nia Sanchez Booko, Luke Broderick, Kristen Doute, Jason and Janet Caperna, Brittany Cartwright, Jasmine Goode, Jesse Lally, Michelle Saniei, and Zack Wickham. But wait, there’s more.

Former ‘Vanderpump Rules’ staples Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz are now full-time cast members. Friends popping in this season include Jasmine’s fiancé, Melissa Carelli, and Zack’s boyfriend Benji Quach. Jesse’s girlfriend, Lacy Nicole, is also stepping into the frame. In the clip, one of the more eyebrow-raising moments comes when Tom leans in and tells a newly single Michelle she’s “gorgeous.” Cut to their friends chanting that the two are going to kiss. Additionally, Lala jokingly floats the idea of a “threesome” while lounging in bed with Michelle and Tom, leaving Tom speechless.

Meanwhile, Michelle and Jesse are still tangled up in their divorce. And it’s not pretty. At one group gathering, she flat-out pleads for him to divorce her. He fires back, accusing her of putting on a show. Later, during a sit-down, Michelle breaks down and admits she “just wants to be happy again.” Jesse, for his part, is dating Lacy, but even that situation looks a little shaky. During a dinner date, he says, “I love you.” She responds with “thank you.” Ouch. His quick “Check, please!” joke tries to lighten the mood, but you can feel the tension hanging in the air. Elsewhere, Brittany is determined to reclaim her glow now that Jax Taylor is out of the picture.

She is seen talking about getting her “sparkle back,” and part of that includes a breast reduction surgery. On top of that, she’s caught up in a whirlwind romance with Brandon Hanson, whom she describes as “emotionally stable.” Janet’s reaction? “That’s normal!” The clip then cuts to babies as the show features two new additions to the group. While this means sweet milestones, parenthood is hitting harder than expected. Kristen and Luke welcome baby Kaia, and Kristen admits that intimacy has basically vanished. Luke makes a comment suggesting that “it's not allowed to be hard for both of us; it's only allowed to be hard for you.” Kristen fires back with a biting response, “Because I don't f**k you?”

Danny and Nia are also feeling the pressure after welcoming daughter Adelaide. Four kids under four. Nia, exhausted and overwhelmed, tearfully shares that she feels “out of control” and isn’t sleeping. She tells Danny she feels “like you're being really critical, and it's really hard for me to function.” Mark your calendars cause the drama is set to unfold as the Bravo series returns on Wednesday, April 1 at 8 pm ET/PT, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.
